I still have the original stockers on my car. Do they really make much of a difference? I haven't done them because it just looks like a major pain in the *** to do.

Yes I am aware of this.

You can however order the 90-93 rear trailing arm bushings from Honda or Acura, yes, either or.

Part number for 90-93 integra rear trailing arms is:

52385-SK7-N02

If you are ordering these, you have to have that part number! Otherwise they will tell you that you have to buy the whole trailing arm! If you order that part have them cross reference it to a car....then giggle when they tell you "it isn't to any car?!?"

Something to do with a service bulletin or shortcoming in the Honda/ Acura parts catalog...

Well, the first time I drove the car I hit the brakes at about 125mph going into turn 1 at Roebling and the rear of the car went left. Yep... That made the front of the car go right. I ended up way in the wrong place, thankful that nobody was next to me at the time.
Christian later dropped the rear trailing arms and both bushings are seriously torn. I'm betting that answers the rear steer question.
Probably more critical on a CRX than that barge wheelbased (in comparison) Integra.

also, just for reference....

when you install new bushings on a lowered car, first reference the angle of the "blade" on the bushing....use a straight edge or something along those lines to come up with a "reference angle" in relationship to the trailing arm.....

Then install the new bushing "clocked" to that specific angle. If you don't do this and install the bushing "clocked" to 12 o'clock, it will be in position of permanent "load" or bind, since the original bushing was "clocked" for stock ride height.

i hope you didnt "make" a spacer... the ID of the old stock integra bushing sleeve matches the OD of the CRX bushing for a good press fit. just cut out and burn off all the old rubber and press into the old sleeve.



works great, unless of course you eff up the old bushing, right jeremy?

and if you want to be super studly, tig a couple of beads around the sleeves so they will not move.

You can get the Mugen bushings from King Motorsports or OPM... currently they are back-ordered thru OPM though (ask me how I know ) List price is around $115 I believe...

Heh I know... just don't feel like calling up and bugging clayton to check stock. I'm not to worried about a harder bushing either.

There have been a few people now (me included) that have compared the Mugen TA bushings VVEEERRRYYYY closely with the "new" offerings from Honda and we are having alot of trouble detecting any differences whatsoever. We have compared void to solid ratios - same, relative flex of the crossbar (semi-durometer type measurement) - same, even done a "poke" test with an awl - same. And the Honda ones are somewhat cheaper and easier to get than the Mugen ones.

I didn't want to burst my own sale....but yes, I am of the firm opinion that they are the exact same offering as OEM at this conjuncture.

I will have a set of OEM bushings in my hand tomorrow, brand new. I will post my findings.

I should have had the Mugens tested for durometer, but I think I can give a relatively solid opinion based on "feel" of the bushing.

I will report back tomorrow.

Ahhh... I see how it works

Seriously though, thanks for the quick shipping on those yesterday!

Christian, who doesn't care if his RTA bushings are Mugen or stock as long as they keep the rear end at the rear.
